Grilled Corn Salad is a vibrant and flavorful dish that captures the essence of summer. Begin by grilling fresh corn on the cob until it develops a smoky char, enhancing its natural sweetness. Once cooled, carefully cut the kernels off the cob. In a mixing bowl, combine the grilled corn with a medley of colorful ingredients to create a visually appealing and tasty salad.
Add diced tomatoes for a juicy burst of freshness, red onions for a mild crunch, and vibrant bell peppers for a spectrum of colors. Incorporate chopped avocados to impart a creamy texture and a rich, buttery taste. To elevate the salad’s flavor profile, mix in finely chopped cilantro and minced jalapeños for a hint of heat.
For the dressing, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, and a touch of honey to balance the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss the ingredients until well-coated, allowing the flavors to meld.
To add a protein boost, consider including grilled chicken or shrimp. The smokiness from the grilled elements harmonizes with the fresh, crisp vegetables, creating a delightful contrast in textures.
Serve the Grilled Corn Salad chilled or at room temperature, allowing the flavors to fully develop. This versatile dish works as a refreshing side at barbecues, picnics, or potlucks. Its combination of grilled sweetness, crunchy vegetables, and zesty dressing makes it a crowd-pleaser, bringing the spirit of summer to your table. Enjoy the burst of flavors and textures in every forkful of this delightful Grilled Corn Salad.

Instructions: Grilled Corn Salad Recipes
Step 1: Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 2: Roast corn on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until tender and specks of black appear, about 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and let sit until just cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 3: Holding a corn cob over a large bowl, use a knife to carefully slice warm kernels directly into the bowl; discard cob. Repeat with remaining corn.
Step 4: Add bell pepper, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, olive oil, salt, and pepper; toss until evenly mixed. Let sit until flavors have blended, at least 30 minutes.
Super refreshing summer-time salad. I followed recipe except tomato’s (veto ingredient at home). I used mix of white and yellow corn.
Added cucumber.
This salad fell flat for me. It is missing an acid, which helps to brighten the flavor and balance the sweetness of the corn. You need to add a citrus (like lemon or lime) or vinegar. Once I did, the salad came alive. Make sure to liberally season with salt and pepper.
Really good! I substitute the olive oil for the juice of one lime, which balances the sweet corn really well.
Oops I forgot in my original review I also added avocado
I used frozen corn and put everything on aluminum foil and on the grill. Worked fine, but I think my grill was a little too hot. Charred on the edges and not in the middle. I'll definitely make this again.
Fabulous base recipe and add whatever other veggies you like, cucumbers, avocado’s etc. Bacon bits also go nicely! Yummy!
A great topping for fish tacos add some diced chiles.
My crew loved it, I did not use bell peppers, but used a cucumber. Also, it is to early for corn so roasting was not an option, but I will try again when corn is fresh. It seemed a bit bland, so it jazzed it up with cumin and chili powder. It was the perfect accompaniment to enchiladas.
